Cook played 90 minutes on Tuesday night for the England under-19s, but the manager is hopeful the quick turnaround will not faze him.

Young gun: Cook due to return to starting line-up against Rotherham

Leeds’ hammering at the hands of Huddersfield last time out has raised fresh doubts about the quality of Evans’ coaching and his players.

The drubbing brought back memories of the embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Brighton last month and Evans will be hoping his side deliver a similar response to the Huddersfield disappointment.

Leeds went on a three league game winning streak after the Brighton fiasco and the match will have the added spice of Evans returning to his old club to face a former Whites manager in the Rotherham dug-out, Neil Warnock.

Evans only fitness concern is Mustapha Carayol who has yet to return from international duty with Gambia.
